Singaporeans expressed their delight after Member of Parliament Tin Pei Ling posted photos from the National Day Parade on her social media. Among the photos, one snapped with Workers' Party leaders Pritam Singh and Sylvia Lim garnered significant attention. Such interactions between ruling People's Action Party (PAP) and opposition Workers' Party (WP) MPs are not common, but the unity displayed in the photo brought joy to many netizens.

The photograph of Tin Pei Ling with WP leaders Pritam Singh and Sylvia Lim was viewed as a symbol of unity on Singapore’s National Day. Social media users praised the image, with many praising the spirit of coming together despite political differences. One Facebook user commented, "That’s the spirit, we are one," while another agreed, "White and blue, we are one!"

Some netizens pointed out that the photo received the most likes, indicating its popularity among the public. Tin Pei Ling's post earned praise for showing the diversity of viewpoints within Singaporeans while emphasizing the unity of being 'One Singapore.' Tin Pei Ling, who has served as an MP since 2011, has represented Marine Parade GRC and MacPherson SMC over the years.

WP leaders Pritam Singh and Sylvia Lim also serve as Parliament representatives for Aljunied GRC and have entered their fourth term following their victory in the 2025 General Election.

Similar sentiments were echoed by Sylvia Lim who, in an Instagram post, stated, "As we approach our 61st National Day, we affirm each other as loyal citizens, whatever our political affiliations may be." This shared sentiment highlights the importance of unity on Singapore’s National Day, regardless of political parties.
